Wok or Walk???

[capt_noonie]

Here we are tonight watching Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations Hong Kong episode. Me and bf were talking about how the Chinese cooks use the wok to cook. "oh look at that huge wok". And Uni gets up with her ears all high thinking we said "walk". LOL She knows the word "walk" so good that when we even say it with accents she know what we just said. We have to spell W-A-L-K now.

anyone else have any words you have to spell so your babies don't understand? Better yet, anyone have babies that can understand you when you spell??? any bilingual babies??? LOL

My Marley is bilingual. I bought her here in Japan at 5 months. Whenever someone speaks to her in Japanese she gets all excited and seems to understand. But she knows commands in English as well. I call her my bilingual baby!

Oh that's so cool! I named Uni after my fave sushi! She looks like a little sea urchin!

Sadie Mae (RIP) knew the spelling of several words. I keep having to change what I called things so that she wouldn't know what I was talking about. For example: I went from saying "Walk", to spelling it, to calling it "The W Thing", to "Trip", to "Play"...then I just gave up. Dinner, Bye-bye and the Shop (she was the mascot for the race car team I worked with) are a few of the others she knew wether I said the word or spelled it. Momma still misses you sweetie.

Here she is celebrating her 16th birthday.

I always have to remember to use the phone in the other room. Im sure she can hear both sides of the conversation to my sister when we arrange walkies time.

What smart dogs we all have
I have to spell out T-R-E-A-T, but Layla doesn't care too much about any other words lol.

In addition to spelling out "walk" and "treat", we also have to spell out "go" or he will get overly excited, and we have to spell out "bath" or he'll get scare.
Duke is funny because he is surrounded by people who speak English, Vietnamese and Spanish, so he understands commands in all 3 languages...

No biligual dogs here, but the word out causes a huge uproar in our house. I have also taken to spelling it but it didn't take them long to figure that out either. So, I just brace myself for the excitment of out time

Wow "tri"lingual! That's great! Uni know's a bit of Vietnamese,, even tho I don't speak it, just from my MIL talking to her. Our babies are so smart aren't they?!
